"I hope that we never lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse" Walt Disney |
- The legend of Toontown is that Mickey Mouse founded the three-acre community in the 30's as a retreat from the bustling life of Hollywood. Until its opening, it was kept secret; the only human allowed being Walt Disney. Mickey suggested in the early 50's that the vacant property to the south be turned into Disneyland. Thirty-eight years later, he decided to open the town to the public. (Disney News, Winter 1992)
- It is only the third new land added to Disneyland, and the first since Bear Country in 1971. (Ibid)
- Toontown is divided into three areas: Downtown to the east, Mickey's Neighborhood to the west, and Toontown Square in the middle. (Ibid)
- Mickey's Toontown is the first land to have an upper height limit on two of its rides. (Ibid)
- Some of Toontown's community organizations include, DAR (Daughts of the Animated Reel), Loyal Knights of the Inkwell, Optimist Intoonational, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Mouse. (Disneyland - Memories of a Lifetime) - search for it on amazon.com
